That being said, I personally hope they treat this manga as a semi-serious case. I mean, why not ? A serious introspective look into a made-up psychological disorder. Just like how Asimov wrote that thesis on Thiotimaline. With the gags in it just to ride on the ‘tsundere’ wave.

Personally, I think some tsunderes have it hard.

Rincewind > LOL

I was thinking of no romantic associations whatsoever….. but whatever. Lets leave it up to the author.

Seriously though: Is psychological help really that far from being obtained in Japan? Or is it just in shows / “gag manga” like Mahoraba?

Speaking as a psych graduate, it’s really best that they make up a disease. Not only is this not like bipolarism, bipolarism isn’t even like what you’re probably imagining (the swings come in bursts of weeks or months, not at the touch of a button, and have nothing to do with how you act towards others; if anything this is a tiny bit closer to boderline personality disorder).

Making up a disease lets the author have more leeway as to what they want to write about, and honestly, I find naming the disease tsudere a hilarious way to poke fun at the conventions and stereotypes of the genre.

Can’t say I would enjoy poking fun at Bipolar Disorder either, having deal with with it in various personal situations myself.

And yeah, I’m with the editor in saying a year and a half ago blond twintail tsundere’s were already saturating the anime/game/manga market.

Also, is it possible that we can NOT make this a romantic manga, and let dear Mozuya NOT have a boyfriend ?

Yes, I’d like that. From the way its portrayed, tsundere seems to be another name for a real world psychological problem, just like Aspergers and depressions.

Here’s hoping for Yandere Aspergers Personality Disorder.
